Sawn Joinery

Part of our main core business is the supply of good quality sawn joinery material from both Finnish and Swedish mills with whom we have been trading for in excess of 15 years and now also clear Radiata Pine of any dimension from our source in New Zealand.

The main commercial grades that we supply are:-

Sawn Unsorted

The very best joinery grade and is primarily used when appearance is of prime importance, ie doors, windows and high end projects. Unsorted Redwood is also suitable for timber mouldings, in particular small mouldings / skirtings and architraves. This grade has a low knot content.

Sawn Vth

Next best after Unsorted but widely used for the planed softwood sections, softwood claddings, softwood floorings, skirtings, architraves and decking (note a lot of decking suppliers will offer a mix of Vth and Sixth).

Sawn Sixth

The lowest normal import grade with a higher knot content but sound with no rot or insect damage. Commonly used for packaging but may also be used for lower grade claddings, floorings and decking boards as mentioned above.

Saw Falling

In Redwood mainly Vths with falling Unsorted included, in Whitewood mainly Unsorted with falling Vths included, neither include any Sixths. Commonly used for door linings and casings, good quality decking and better planed goods.
